Andy Hayhurst

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andy Hayhurst (born November 23, 1962) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler.

During a twelve-year first-class career, he played for Lancashire, Somerset and Derbyshire. An effective all-rounder, he was unfortunately unable to provide the necessary push to put him up for possible international candidacy. With an average nearing 58 in 1990, in his first season for Somerset, he had a lot to live up to and did not make such figures for the team until 1994, when he became captain of the team for the following two years.

He was dropped from Somerset in 1996, and in the same year he was to become the player/coach of Derbyshire, however, in his first match for the team he was to walk off injured. Hayhurst became first-team coach thanks to the departures of Dean Jones and Les Stillman.

He left Derbyshire under pressure from Dominic Cork, and most recently has revived his Sunday League career.
